Ellie Leach, 22, and pro dancer, Vito Coppola, 31, have been 'undermarked' again according to some Strictly viewers.

One fan took to X/Twitter and wrote: "So all three judges haven’t got anything bad to say but give Ellie and Vito a 9!?When are they going to have the 40 that they deserve."

Another added: "Sick of Ellie and Vito not getting the 40!"

A third penned: "Jeezus Ellie! That was UNBELIEVABLE! She is amazing! Is there no dance she can't do! Perfection!"

A fourth wrote: "I've lost count of how many performances from Ellie and Vito should have been perfect 40... I mean what more do they want?"

Ellie and Vito performed a Quickstep to Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

Each judge scored the duo nine leading to a total of 36 points.

Strictly's usual Sunday elimination has been cancelled.

This came after Nigel Harman had quit the series just hours before the quarter-finals.

The former EastEnders actor was forced to withdraw from the competition after he fell during rehearsals and injured his rib.
